Setting Off (Please Recommend)

Qiulong Star.

A triangular spaceship flickering with a dim glow slowly descended onto the plaza outside Li Ze's temporary residence on Qiulong Star.

Once the spaceship had fully landed, its hatch opened, and three staff members wearing uniforms marked "Ganwu Branch of the Cosmic Army" stepped out.

The leader, a Strongman over 2.5 meters tall with features close to those of an Earth Human, was astonishingly a Domain Lord level expert.

Seeing the spaceship land, Li Ze, who had long received the news and was waiting at the castle entrance, also walked toward the three men.

"Hello, are you Mr. Li Ze?" Seeing Li Ze approach, the leading Strongman stepped forward and asked.

"I am Li Ze," Li Ze replied.

Upon hearing Li Ze's answer, a silver-white metal case appeared directly in the Strongman's hand.

"Please enter your order number to complete verification," the Strongman said to Li Ze.

Li Ze stepped forward and swept his Spiritual Power over the receiver on the metal case, entering his order number.

After the number was entered, a Flowing Light swept over Li Ze from the spaceship.

"Verification confirmed. Opening the security case!" A voice sounded from the spaceship moments later.

As the voice ended, the silver-white metal case in the Strongman's hand opened, revealing two rings inside.

The Strongman picked up the rings and handed them to Li Ze. "Please inspect them to confirm whether the items are correct."

Li Ze took the rings from the Strongman, and his consciousness entered them.

Inside one ring floated a teardrop-shaped crimson D9-class Spaceship.

Inside the other were a Sixth Order Detector, the Fire Void Warrior Original Force divine weapon, the Annihilation God Weapon, the Enlightenment God Weapon—one of the Fire Void Controller's nine great divine weapons—and Life Crystals.

"The items are correct," Li Ze said after inspecting them.

"Mr. Li Ze, your order for this procurement by the Outer Domain Battlefield army has been handed over. Goodbye," the Strongman said with a smile after confirming there were no problems.

"Goodbye," Li Ze replied.

Afterward, the Strongman and the other two returned to the spaceship and departed from Qiulong Star.

After watching the three leave, Li Ze turned and walked back into the castle.

Qiulong Star Castle, Cultivation Room.

Li Ze put away the Spatial Ring containing the spaceship. He had no use for it at the moment.

He looked toward the other ring.

"These items cost a fortune enough to buy many star systems. I hope they won't disappoint me!" Li Ze sighed.

He first took out the Sixth Order Detector, a dark-red object resembling a wristwatch.

"I won't need the detector until I go to the Outer Domain Battlefield."

After having Walli connect to and activate the detector for a simple calibration, he put it directly back into the Spatial Ring.

He then took the weapons and battle armor he had bought out of the Spatial Ring one by one.

The Long Mace glittering with crimson Secret Scripts was the Enlightenment God Weapon, one of the Fire Void Controller's nine great divine weapons.

The Long Sword, its surface carved with a long blood groove and likewise covered in crimson Secret Scripts, was the Fire Void Warrior Original Force divine weapon, the Annihilation God Weapon.

Li Ze had repeatedly practiced using these two divine weapons in the Virtual Universe, but because he had yet to comprehend the Law of Space Origin, he could not activate the Secret Scripts upon them.

Shaking his head, he put the two great divine weapons away first.

Next came the Fifth Order Origin Force Weapon Crimson Cloud Sword and the fifth-order defensive battle armor he had purchased.

There was no need to mention the Crimson Cloud Sword. He had used it many times to kill enemies in the Virtual Universe's Slaughter Field and was extremely familiar with it.

He then reached toward the fifth-order defensive battle armor, which was shaped like a mass of liquid.

"Walli, take control of the battle armor's Intelligent Core," Li Ze ordered.

"Received, Master. The Intelligent Core has been controlled. Shall I deploy it?" Walli's voice sounded moments later.

"Deploy it."

As soon as Li Ze gave the command, the liquid mass spread over his entire body.

Five seconds later, Li Ze's dark-red robe vanished, replaced by a set of Red Battle Armor. Flowing Light flickered across its surface from time to time. Other than his face, every part of him was wrapped in the armor.

"With this kind of battle armor, normally used only by high-level Domain Lords, my defensive ability in battle will increase greatly as well."

After putting on the battle armor, Li Ze took all the Life Crystals from his Spatial Ring.

As he looked at the pile of milky-white crystals on the ground, which emitted waves of fragrance, waves of hunger rose from the depths of Li Ze's soul.

"I wonder how far these Life Crystals can cultivate the Golden Crow Body Refining Art?"

Li Ze directly stored the Life Crystals on the ground into his Inner World.

Inside the Inner World.

The Life Crystals Li Ze had stored inside appeared directly on the ground before the Golden Crow Physique.

The Golden Crow Physique had been waiting for a long time. It immediately used the Golden Crow Body Refining Art, which it had already comprehended to the beginner level, and injected Original Force into the Life Crystals before it.

Driven by the Golden Crow's Original Force, the Life Crystals rose into the air one by one and scattered above the Golden Crow Physique, forming a profound Hexagonal Pattern.

Strands and wisps of Life Energy gathered at the center of the Hexagonal Pattern, gradually forming a liquid that shone with multicolored light.

Once the liquid had formed to a certain extent, it began dripping down toward the Golden Crow Physique below.

The instant the liquid touched the Golden Crow Physique, it seeped directly inside and vanished.

Life Energy began to appear within the Golden Crow Physique. Part of it merged into the body, while another part fused into the Life Core.

Hiss!

A Soul Crystal Ball covered in countless crimson Secret Scripts flew directly into the Sea of Consciousness at the brain's core.

An Original Force Crystal Ball remained within the dantian.

The Psychic Power Crystal Ball and Original Force Crystal Ball shot out 720 Energy Threads almost simultaneously, rapidly burrowing into the 720 crucial energy acupoints throughout the Golden Crow Physique.

"Condense!" The Soul Crystal Ball and Original Force Crystal Ball shook violently, simultaneously firing out 36,000 Energy Threads that instantly fused into every part of Li Ze's body. The densely packed Energy Threads connected every part of his body like brand-new energy meridians.

The 72,000 crystalline threads circulated continuously. The Soul Crystal Ball, Original Force Crystal Ball, and body fused perfectly as one.

Strands of Life Energy continuously traveled through those 72,000 fine threads and 1,440 Main Threads to every part of his body.

As time passed, the life aura of the Golden Crow Physique began to rise bit by bit. Although the increase was extremely slight, it continued to climb steadily.

On the Origin Core within his body, profound Secret Scripts gradually increased. The world within the Origin Core slowly expanded, while the soul at its core grew stronger bit by bit.

Seeing the Golden Crow Physique's aura gradually strengthen, Li Ze estimated that this state would continue for some time as the Life Energy within the crystals was refined. His consciousness returned to his Human Body.

Li Ze immediately prepared to enter the Slaughter Field and continue honing himself through battle.

Time flashed by, and more than two months passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Li Ze withdrew his consciousness from the Virtual Universe and did not continue his Slaughter Field training.

A spaceship under the Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch of the Cosmic Army was about to arrive. He would soon depart for the Black Dragon Emperor Star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, where he would board the Ganwu Cosmic Nation branch's troop carrier and head to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Over the past two months, Li Ze had improved tremendously. Through nonstop combat training in the Slaughter Field, his practical combat ability had greatly increased, and he had gained a much deeper understanding of the combat methods of other races in the universe.

Aside from his increased combat strength and experience, his comprehension of laws had also improved greatly. His understanding of the Law of Fire had deepened, and although he still had not comprehended the Law of Space Origin, his Space Domain had risen from Domain First Layer two months ago to Domain Third Layer. When he unleashed his domain, the fluctuations of the Law of Space Origin had become much clearer as well.

He believed that with some more time spent comprehending it, he would be able to cross the threshold of the Law of Space Origin.

"Master, the transport spaceship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch of the Cosmic Army is about to dock at Qiulong Star's Docking Port. You may now depart for the Docking Port," Walli's voice rang out in Li Ze's mind.

Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Ze did not hesitate and headed directly out of the castle.

After leaving the castle, he handed the Castle Token to the Flowing Silver Guard in front of it, soared into the air, and flew toward the Docking Port.

Qiulong Star, Spaceship Docking Port.

After flying to the Docking Port, Li Ze followed Walli's guidance and headed directly to Sector E.

The area was extremely spacious. Aside from the spaceship from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch of the Cosmic Army parked some distance away, no other ships were docked there.

That was right. There was not a single other spaceship in Sector E, because E-Class Spaceships were generally used only by experts at the Sector Lord level or above. Ordinary cultivators below the Sector Lord level simply could not afford the use and maintenance of an E-Class Spaceship.

The spaceship currently parked in Sector E was an E1-class Small Transport Ship. It was diamond-shaped and emitted a captivating dim glow.

As Li Ze approached the spaceship, two Universe level soldiers of the Cosmic Army standing by the hatch immediately came forward.

"Hello, are you Lord Li Ze? We are members of the Third Transport Team under the Black Dragon Mountain Empire transport division of the Cosmic Army. This time, you will travel to the Black Dragon Emperor Star, where you will board a Ganwu Cosmic Nation troop carrier together with the others heading to the Outer Domain Battlefield," one soldier said to Li Ze.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you."

After saying that, Li Ze boarded the spaceship under the soldiers' guidance.

The spaceship automatically closed its hatch. Thirty seconds later, it shot into the sky, broke free of Qiulong Star's gravity, and flew toward the depths of the universe.

Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Emperor Star Black Dragon Star.

This was a massive life planet with a diameter exceeding 100,000 kilometers. Thirteen natural planets orbited around it, and the star system Black Dragon Star belonged to was a rare binary star system. Two suns hung in the sky over Black Dragon Star every day.

More than eighty percent of the planet's surface was covered by water, and many cities were built on islands scattered across the sea. There was only one continent, named Black Dragon Continent by the first emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. The Emperor Star's main population was concentrated on that continent.

That day, the spaceship Docking Port on Black Dragon Continent was extremely busy. E-Class Spaceships, rarely seen under normal circumstances, continuously flew in from all corners of the universe and docked at the Black Dragon Continent's Docking Port.

Universe level and Domain Lord level experts emerged from those spaceships one after another, then were invited by reception soldiers into the resting area of the Docking Port.

Near noon, an E-Class Spaceship flew in from deep space. Guided by the Docking Port's signals, it descended toward Sector E.

After the spaceship landed, its hatch opened, and three people stepped out.

They were Li Ze and the other two, who had spent six days traveling through the universe.

At the speed of nineteen times the speed of light per second, Li Ze and the other two had still spent three days traveling through Dark Universe, covering more than 1.6 million light-years before arriving at the Black Dragon Emperor Star.

At that moment, a soldier waiting on the ground immediately stepped forward and gave a military salute.

"Hello, Li Ze. I am a reception soldier from the Black Dragon Star branch of the Cosmic Army. I have been ordered to guide you to the resting area, where you will wait for the arrival of the Ganwu Cosmic Nation troop carrier."

After hearing his words, Li Ze did not hesitate and followed him toward the resting area.

Li Ze did not wait long in the resting area this time. He received a message the next day.

"Hello, Li Ze. The Ganwu Cosmic Nation troop carrier has arrived at Black Dragon Star's Docking Port. Please immediately follow the guide to Sector F, the large warship docking area. There, you will complete your final enlistment inspection before heading to the Outer Domain Battlefield. May your journey be smooth."

After reading the message sent to his light brain, Li Ze rose from the lounge and headed outside.

When he arrived outside the lounge, he saw that many Universe level and Domain Lord level experts had already gathered there.

After finding the guide for the Universe level recruits and waiting for about another five minutes, all the Universe level recruits had arrived, numbering more than two hundred.

Looking toward the Domain Lord level side, there were also around two hundred people. Their numbers had not decreased just because Domain Lord level lifeforms were fewer.

Although Universe level lifeforms had a large base in the universe, not many from a mid-tier cosmic empire dared to head to the Outer Domain Battlefield at the Universe level.

Domain Lords and Sector Lords were the main force on the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Under the guides' direction, the recruits about to enlist headed toward Sector F, the large warship docking area.
